Sol Republic AmpsAir – These Earbuds Could Have Been Perfect! [REVIEW]

The title says it all. These earbuds come with a price tag and a lot of expectations, but they couldn’t convince me.

POSITIVE

They sound very well

Pairing is pretty easy once you know how to do it

The long battery life is a big plus

The charging case is sturdy and can also be used to charge your phone (you can charge the earbuds 15 times with the case)

The earbuds fit very well

They look cool

Good passive noise canccelation

They are very loud

NEGATIVE

When it’s silent, there’s a bit of white noise

They tend to unpair sometimes, didn’t happen a lot

Now, I normally don’t write a separate paragraph when I’m saying the positive or negative things on products, but I feel I have to do with these. It’s such a shame that the latency is SO BAD on the AmpAirs. These earbuds are fantastic on every other aspect: they look nice, sound great, fit well, but the latency is a no-go from my part. Please, if you’re reading this Sol Republic: fix the latency for that price!

VERDICT

As already stated above: they could have been perfect. Everything is okay, expect for the latency, which is unforgivable. However, if you don’t watch any videos and just listen to music, I can recommend them. They sound great and there’s just a little bit of white noise. You can find the AmpAirs here.
